RPimpsner Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Here is a concept for a new name for the Staten Island Yankees. The name Staten Island Skyliners was the brain child of one of the team employees. I just went one step further and attempted to make a logo concept. I am still debating of replacing Staten Island with Richmond County (The county that is located on Staten Island).PrimaryAlternateSleeve PatchWordmarkHome WordmarkRoad Wordmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sguse1 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Very impressive...well branded i would say. I would love to see some unis of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 First off, never use gradient. Ever. Secondly, the only part of this design that I really like is the sleeve patch. Try making that the primary logo and working from there. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

WideRight Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I agree, gradients always seem good in your mind, but are horrible in reality. Look at how many actual teams use them, (zero?) and you might take that hint. I think if you look at actual designs from the real world and think about what almost all pro teams do, you keep yourself from overdoing a design.Simple color schemesBlocks of colorthick outlinesno gradientsuncluttered fonts (in most cases)consistent color use (not black & silver, with a red-blue alternate)I am all for innovation, but within the scope of what is viable. Sports design is distinct from corporate design, from comic book art, from cartoon, etc. Once you get a sense of the Sports design asthetic, you can produce logos that follow suit, even with innovation.

McCall Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 - No gradients- Way too many caps in different colors- No gradients- Way too many different colors being used and mixed, most of them NOT in a good way- On the Primary, the there is too much white space. Either fill it in with something, or make the skyline go higher. As well, there also seems to be too much empty black space at the bottom of the home plate.- No gradients   https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It seems like a combination of the Mets and Padres for some reason...Please, leave out the gradient like everybody else is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 also on the caps. take out the drop shadow. Doesn't seem right, maybe jsut this template, but it seems funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koizim Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 That's much better. However, I'd ditch the font on the home jersey and the grey road caps (those never look good).

RPimpsner Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I was thinking of adding a pinstripe home jersey, since it is still a Yankees Affiliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The silver wordmark on the jerseys doesn't work. Oh and for people who hate gradients, there is nothing wrong with gradients. What most people don't like, is the application of them. Most people don't know how to properly use a gradient so it looks good. To use a gradient properly is a skill few people work on and that's why they look so bad. It's kind of like people not using clipping paths in Illustrator.

RPimpsner Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like gradients but I will admit they do not look as good as the plan colors in my design. As far as the home jersey, I am starting to agree with you there. At first I liked it but now after looking at it for a little while, it doesnt work as well as I hoped. I am working on a new one (possibly a pinstripe vest with SI logo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Your concept is not bad at all, but it does need alot of work.The first thing you should do is make the city background in a color that contrasts well with the script. The silver just gets lost in it all. If you take a look at the Mets logo, you'll see how something neat can be done with only 2 colors and very few elements. I'd say a white script with a blue and silver border like the alternate would look better than all silver. Basically, it should be in the same font as the SI logo. Stick with those, you do not need a dozen fonts. After that, if you make the skyline higher, it will fill the empty space at the top of the home plate.

RPimpsner Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I was doing some work on the primary logo I will have it up later. I have been busy working on the new homepage design for my website (New Homepage preview - http://www.baby-bombers.com/index2.htm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like the changes at the top, with the new color scheme. I am not a fan of the skyliners text and the effect you have on it. I do like the homeplate as part of the logo, but take out those wave looking things. It is much better than the first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
